Abstract
This song is an exhortation to Afa Ajura's two primary audiences: members of the Tijaniyya order in Tamale and to those Dagbamba still practicing indigenous spiritual practices. The text fits within those songs which tells Tijaniyya followers to look only to the Holy Qur’an to know how to worship and be a good Muslim.
